Heavy Duty Rubber Kerb Ramp – 40 Tonne Load Capacity | HGV, Car & Wheelchair Access Ramp

The UK's most specified rubber kerb ramp for 40-tonne vehicle access. Engineered from solid high-density vulcanised rubber, the BarriersUK Heavy Duty Kerb Ramp gives HGVs, lorries, vans, forklifts, wheelchairs, mobility scooters and pallet trucks a safe, compliant crossing over kerbs, thresholds and raised loading edges — indoors or out, temporary or permanent.

Built for the realities of UK sites: high-grip in driving rain, freeze-thaw stable through British winters, and tough enough for daily articulated lorry traffic at distribution centres, construction compounds and commercial yards.

At a glance

• 40-tonne load capacity — rated for HGVs, articulated lorries, forklifts and plant
• Two heights — 100mm for standard kerbs, 150mm for raised loading bays
• High-visibility yellow reflective inserts — improved visibility in low light and night operations
• Anti-slip moulded surface — naturally grippy wet or dry, no coatings to wear off
• Pre-marked fixing points — bolt down for permanent installation, or freestanding
• Twin underside channels — clear passage for cables, hoses or surface water drainage
• Modular interlocking ends — join multiple ramps for any kerb length
• UK stock, next-working-day dispatch on orders placed before 2pm

Why specifiers choose this ramp

Most rubber ramps on the UK market are imported lightweight units rated for cars only. Ours is moulded from a denser rubber compound and load-tested to 40 tonnes — the same class used by national logistics operators, councils and Tier 1 contractors. The reflective inserts are recessed (not stuck on), so they survive forklift wheels and pressure washing. The drainage channels prevent puddling against the kerb edge — a frequent failure point on cheaper solid ramps that traps water and ices over in winter.

Choosing your height

Height	Best for	Typical use
100mm	Standard UK kerbs (95–105mm)	Car parks, pavement crossings, light commercial yards, wheelchair access
150mm	Raised kerbs and loading docks (140–155mm)	Distribution centres, builders' yards, HGV access, forklift routes

Measure kerb height at its highest point. If your kerb falls between sizes, the 150mm is the safer specification — a slightly taller ramp causes no compliance issue, but a short ramp does.

Where it's used

• Logistics & distribution — HGV access at loading bays, yard crossings, dock-leveller approaches
• Construction sites — temporary kerb crossings for plant, deliveries and welfare access
• Commercial & retail — car park kerbs, delivery zones, trolley routes
• Council & public sector — wheelchair and mobility access, event sites, market traders
• Manufacturing — forklift routes between buildings, pallet truck crossings
• Facilities & events — temporary cable protection combined with vehicle crossing

Installation

Two options — both compliant:

1. Freestanding — the ramp's mass and underside grip pattern hold it in place for temporary use. Ideal for short-term sites and event work.
2. Bolted down — drill through the pre-marked fixing points using M12 expansion anchors (concrete) or rawl bolts (tarmac/asphalt). Recommended for permanent installations and any site with regular HGV movements.

One person can position the 100mm; the 150mm is a two-person lift. No specialist tools required beyond an SDS drill for bolted installs.

Compliance & safety

• Meets HSE workplace transport guidance for vehicle/pedestrian segregation
• Suitable for Equality Act 2010 reasonable-adjustment wheelchair access
• Manufactured to relevant BS EN standards for slip resistance and load bearing
• Reflective inserts compliant with low-light visibility requirements
